AC Adapter question PH315-53-79PW

Mikael_S

I want to buy another AC adapter. But not sure which one to buy. There is very little information on Acer homepage how to know which one I have to order. It is basically only mentioned 230W and they do not offer any online store / accessory sales to Sweden. 

My original AC adapter have type number  ADP-230JB D,  230W, 19.5V, 11.8A, and its black color  connector looks like 5mm or probably 5.5mm x 2.5 mm.
The laptop is Predator Helios 300 model PH315-53-79PW (NH.Q7ZED.00M)
CPU Intel 8-core i7-10870H
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 super Q 
Display 15.6", 144hz, RGB keyboard, 16BG RAM, 1TB m2 SSD

Is it required to use only original Acer AC adapter on my laptop, or will generic work as well? 
Some brands like HP and Dell have software to check it is original AC adapter, else it will not work. I am not sure about Acer if they do the same as HP Dell.

If ever buying the Acer original AC Adapter, what part.no?   Acer do not have online selling in Sweden.
If I buy a generic AC adapter (due to availability) what size of connector should I use, is it 5,0, 5.5 or 6.0 mm connector?

Hello!
Actually it's a 5.5mm x 1.7 mm, and I have the same problem. I want to buy another AC adapter and the only place I found selling it, they don't ship to Brazil. But they ship to Sweden.
Here is where I found it.

Just remove the space after the www.
I think I will buy one at Ali Express and replace the cable, the same way I did with my previous one. It is working fine.
